The road obstructed is particularly described in the written complaint. The issue of fact was whether there was a road by prescription, and on that issue the finding and judgment was in favor of appellee. The necessary result of this judgment is the determination of a freehold (Chaplin v. Com\u2019rs of Highways, 126 Ill. 264; Town of Brushy Mound v. McClintock, 146 Ill. 643), and therefore this court has no jurisdiction of the appeal. The appeal is dismissed with the right of appellant, if desired, to withdraw record and brief.",
